Great trimmer
I had one before that lasted several years. Love the ease of use and that it's lightweight. This replacement works just as well

A Good Investment
I've always had my doubts about the efficiency and convenience of string trimmers until I decided to add this B&D 40V trimmer to my growing collection of other cordless B&D tools.This B&D string trimmer has functioned flawlessly for me. No more bending down to edge my lawn by hand. So it's a keeper.I highly recommend all B&D tools.

Black N Decker Battery Weed Eater
I like this Weed Eater better than my last one, that is basically the same Weed eater only updated with Speed control to save battery. I like the upgrades. Thank You

Lightweight but Tough!
This string trimmer is very light weight and my wife uses it easily. The issue is the powerhead went out after one year of service but Black&Decker replaced it under warranty. Self feeding feature is a big plus and when you need string, you just install a new cartridge and go. It is a hard worker for its size.

Awesome product.
This was a replacement for an older model B&D trimmer that I bought as a combo with a blower. This thing is awesome. Lightweight and powerful. The adjustable power is new to me and is great. You won’t be disappointed.

Great Tool
I had already bought the 40v hedge trimmer and light/medium duty patio blower with lithium batteries and been extremely happy with both. So when I saw the 40v strimmer without a battery for half the price on amazon I jumped on it as the trimmer takes the same kind of battery as the other tools. Our small house is on a 7,000 square foot plot of land. The house itself is about 1,000 square feet so most of that land is yard space and some of the grass areas get overgrown quickly.To make it easier to deal with those areas, we got this strimmer. Out of the box, it requires some basic assembly. It’s fairly light weight; only the shaft is made of metal. It’s mostly plastic including the silver motor housing that looks like metal in the photos. A simple clasp on the main shaft allows for some length adjustment. And the loop handle slides up and down the shaft with a similar clasp to adjust for a comfortable reach. Other than that, the strimmer has a simple dial to set the power/speed of the motor and a trigger that works in two stages to activate for safety.The battery is quite large but because it’s a lithium battery it isn’t that heavy. It slides into the base of the handle on tracks which are sprung. I used some dry ptfe spray to lubricate the slide because it can be quite stiff and hard to push the battery in far enough for the catch to activate. The battery has a small button and a row of LEDs that that light up to show to what extent the battery is charged when you turn the trimmer on.The battery charger is a largish cradle you drop the battery into. The battery charges in less than two hours and keeps its charge for a long time (weeks if you don’t use it). You can leave the battery in the charger since it does revert to a slow top up charge once full.The head of the strimmer rotates 90 degrees so you can do vertical or horizontal edging. There is a simple metal fence/guard that can be flipped out to help your measure the distance of the radius and more easily do lawn edging along paths and driveways. I tend to leave it out because it makes it much easier to gauge where the string reaches so you don’t waste as much of the reel needlessly. The reels are readily available at all my local hardware stores.The feed is automatic so you do not have to fiddle with the tool at all. Just plug in the battery, dial in the power you want to use and put it to work. Pull the trigger and off it goes.The strimmer has a lot of power and has no problems with thick overgrown Bermuda grass. It cuts through thick clumps between 1-2 feet tall with ease even on a lower setting. I’ve never had to turn it above 4 (the power range is 1 – 6). Because of the other tools I own in the same series I have two batteries. The strimmer lasts a long time. I’ve never used up more than half a charge and a battery lasts a long time even when the battery is also used in other tools like the hedge trimmer.I like all these 40v tools and highly recommend them.

Died after 2 years/Updated Review
I finally figured out how to contact black and decker. Apparently all you have to do is google black and decker and a chat box becomes available. The associate helped me and in a short time let me know that I would be receiving another string trimmer courtesy of Black and Decker. I still wasn't sure it was real so I waited to see if the trimmer came. It arrived just as they said it would. It is brand new and not refurbished. Even though it was hard to figure out, Black and Decker honored the manufacture warranty and they were very nice about it. I am very satisfied now. Thank you.Died after 2 years. I bought the extended warranty but apparently the trimmer is under manufacture warranty for 3 years. So.... Asurian won't cover the claim because Black & Decker is responsible, but there is no way to contact Black & Decker for the warranty. Amazon doesn't have a way for me to take advantage of the warranty. They keep sending me in loops to "no where" on their website. Why have a warranty if your customers don't have a way to access the help? Very frustrated about this whole situation.

Disappointed
It did not come with the battery. In the small print it mentioned but i thought it was cheap and dirty to sell it the way amazon did. I am sure the machine is good but amazon rules and i am just the shopper.
